Everyone, Parents in
particular, must note, the only measure by which *we* will be judged
by those who come after is the health of the land; by the health of
the earth, and by the drinkability of the water. Our children will
not give a $#!t that we recycled, wrote our legislators, supported
marxist, nazi, democratic, or stalinist causes, or fined BP, Exxon,
United Healthcare, or SONY. They will only care that we installed a
black president, as much as we care about Nixon today. They will only
care about us breaking windows at RBC in protest today as much as we
care about Newark burning 40 years ago. They will only care about the
gulf and BP tomorrow as much as we care about Alaska today. They will
instead only be concerned if the water, land and air can still
sustain life, most notably their own."
